Not Checkers is a multigenerational social event held every second Saturday at CultureHUB. The event incorporates chess and life lessons from community leaders of diverse backgrounds to benefit students of all ages and promotes community engagement. Research suggests that regular chess practice enhances cognitive abilities, including mental acuity, alertness, memory, attention span, and overall brain function, when compared to individuals who do not engage in chess. The event commences with a welcoming address and motivational thought for the day. It proceeds with group lessons tailored to skill levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced), followed by practice time with a partner. Lunch is provided as part of the event, and special guest speakers are invited to share their insights.
